Title
PDF File Insert
Post
I created a container field for storing pdf files and have no trouble getting them into the database, however I am having trouble opening them once I store them. I'm storing them in the db and did not select the external storage option. In addition the field format is shown below. I would have thought a simple double click would open the file, but for some reason it's not working.
Double clicking a container field optimized for interative content as you have discovered.
If you use insert file, not insert PDF to insert the PDF, specify "store a reference" and do not select the interactive content option, then you can double click your container field to open the pdf.
Another option is to add a button for this to your layout that uses Export Field Contents to export a copy of the file to temporary items or some such location and then open the copy.
